Apache Spark’s popularity as part of big data analytics solutions is exploding. Spark is an open-source data analytics cluster computing framework originally developed in the AMPLab at UC Berkeley. Spark fits into the Hadoop open-source community, building on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, Spark promises performance up to 100 times faster than Hadoop MapReduce for certain applications…and that’s why you should care!

Spark’s in-memory cluster computing is very well suited to machine learning algorithms. These Videos will give you a nice introduction to Spark, how it’s being used in business and why you should care…Watch Spark Videos…

What’s Hot in Data Science? Well, there has been a lot of talk recently about DEEP-LEARNING, a subset of Machine Learning, which allows machines to classify what they perceive.

Adam Gibson (Data Scientist and Co-Founder, Blix.io) presents his open-source, distributed deep-learning framework, Deeplearning4j. He demos sentiment analysis and facial recognition tools. If you are using or learning Machine Learning then you should watch this video. Watch Video

WHY? Hear from Big Data experts on what is available in the industry today, what’s anticipated, and why they think SPARK is the next big thing for Big Data. What is SPARK? Why is it relevant? How does SPARK play into a more intelligent use of data? Read More
